Welcome back to school and to the first days of

the new Creative Arts Academy of the Quad Cities!

We are excited to begin this new endeavor and hope that our first ever student body is excited as well.

Due to some delays in construction, we will be hosting classes in the RiverCenter for the first two weeks. We will be located on the second floor of the south conference rooms. Students may be dropped off under the 3rd street skybridge. Students may want to bring a notebook and pencil and, of course, an enthusiasm for learning.

We look forward to seeing you all for the start of this inaugural year!

If anyone would care to share their back to school photos or videos of their child as he or she begins their first days at the Academy, you could e-mail those to balsarc@davenportschools.org. We hope to document this exciting first year with lots of culminating events and materials.
